He wants to mean something to me But he was just a dream that never got to be And now he self flagellates That he never took the girl on dates And he makes do with what he has But most of the time he just feels bad That he settled for Someone he could never adore Only ever be useful to And she’d skull the devil to get to you Because you’ve got that verdant green And arches her back the way it had never been Before And the shore May be a more sunny shade of grey But you and I were never that way So I take the bull by the horns But something warns Me to just let it go He’s not what you think, you know And he rained bloody blue hell On the summer of wishing me well And I don’t know if he can tell But when I fell I fell hard And let the bard Inside of me run loose But she has run out of juice And gets by on mere gasoline I wonder does she ever scream When you make her high I wonder does she feel you When you wanna die Like I do I’m miles away and the needle pulls through On another thread I don’t want to be witness to someone else’s bed But I feel it all And I forestall The grief For mere belief In who I am to be You won’t make a whore out of me
I think I've found the princess and the pea
And the thing that was troubling me
Coz it started that summer after we met
Something about time and what we cannot forget
And it was just a day
But it changed everything anyway
And you were a little emo cool
I was a little high achiever in school
And we both wrote our own stories
It doesn't help that yours always floors me
With your honesty and straight talk
If I knew you better I would've said you'd walk
But as it was we sat side by side
And I felt I knew what was inside
You from the way you stared at my frame
And I barely know your name
But it's been embedded in my mind since
As if you are the perfect prince
To cut through the brambles and briars
To wake the one who sleeps through fires
And I know I should not utter the truth
Lest I find myself in league with a brute
Who evinces all that there is to be
When I discovered you with me
It was as though a holy sun burned
It was as though the axis turned
Just for the sake of gravity
And it's the magnetism that pulls you to me
In the era of high agenda
You don't have to defend that
Same old little pocket of pain
Because I will only assuage the rain
That kisses the ground and grows the grass
And the trouble is not born to last
But to come and go
So that we both might know
What peace will entertain
You are a beautiful refrain
As we grow the earth
Up out of it's time of hurt
Into the knowledge of the sun
And that we all are one
